Week 9: WTC Court Project

 

Earlier in the week, the committee was delighted to receive an email enquiry from a member who has been missing the blog.  It is lovely to know that you are enjoying our posts – thank you! We haven’t updated for a few Fridays, as the newly laid courts have been curing, so there has not been much action to report.

Things have been different this week, however, and there has been much going on around the periphery of the courts, with work advancing on our smart, updated fencing.  Please see the photos at the end of this post.

We have been overwhelmed by the number of members who have made contact with us by email, phone and in person, regarding yesterday’s announcement about the need to change our court colours.  The majority of you have shared your sense of disappointment, a feeling that whole committee shares with you.  We are confident that the new courts will be contemporary and vibrant, and we are determined to get that pink in there somewhere!  We have been so happy with the level of engagement across all areas of our membership and hope that will continue in the same, positive way, in our new-look home.

This weekend is the last one we will have use of the courts at Writtle University College.  We would like to thank them for providing our club with a temporary home.

Please remember that there will be no club access to courts next week.
